batterypack: (I'm now becoming)

Oh. [ no, see, this she actually gets a lot more immediately than most things. ] Knowing that you're going to be watched means you actually put forth all of the effort to do it properly versus going through the motions to get it over with for someone who won't mind if it's imperfect. But you want to be at your best for a lot of other things, even if it's not this necessarily.

It's incentive to actually be connected to the thing you're doing.

[he nods.]

Yeah. And I'm more used to doing these kinds of things for a living or in important scenarios, anyway. I don't... do a lot of things as a hobby, exactly.
batterypack: (TV taught me how to feel)

[personal profile] batterypack 2025-02-28 04:16 pm (UTC)(link)
A lack of time, or a lack of interest? [ with this man she thinks it could go either way. ] I don't know if I would call most of the things I do hobbies either.

[personal profile] kumeyuri 2025-02-28 04:33 pm (UTC)(link)
A bit of both? [a shrug] What do you do, anyway? Besides this Heaven stuff.
batterypack: (And with the black banners raised)

[personal profile] batterypack 2025-02-28 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
"This heaven stuff." [ funny. ] I used to work a lot. Different jobs to keep my busy and everything. [ also, she needed money. ] But I guess art sometimes. Reading sometimes. Helping my family with their readings sometimes. Searching for sleeping Welsh kings and following ley lines sometimes.

[ one of these things is not like the others. ]

The boys were on the quest long before I met them. But everything sounded so unlike what I've seen before that I wanted to come with them.

[personal profile] kumeyuri 2025-03-02 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
The boys...?
batterypack: (I think you're my best friend)

[personal profile] batterypack 2025-03-02 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
My friends. They sort of come in a set. [ which is both annoying and also endearing now that she's a part of them. ]
kumeyuri: (127)

[personal profile] kumeyuri 2025-03-02 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
And their quest was... searching for sleeping Welsh kings and following ley lines?
batterypack: (Don't do friends)

[personal profile] batterypack 2025-03-03 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
It was Gansey's idea. He wanted to find Glendower for his own reasons, but whoever found him would also be granted a favor.
kumeyuri: (109)

[personal profile] kumeyuri 2025-03-03 02:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Glendower being the aforementioned sleeping Welsh king?
batterypack: (The moment that I step outside)

[personal profile] batterypack 2025-03-03 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. He'd been searching for years even before he moved to Henrietta to continue and brought the rest of us along.

[a nod...]

What's that about being granted a favour?
batterypack: (And washed it away down the kitchen sink)

[personal profile] batterypack 2025-03-04 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Just as it sounds. To find the tomb of the sleeping king would be...some sort of proof of merit, and the king would grant a favor. Anything at all. Or maybe a wish is more accurate.

[personal profile] kumeyuri 2025-03-07 03:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Has anyone actually succeeded in this before, or...?
batterypack: (And gaze at my shoes)

[personal profile] batterypack 2025-03-08 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
Well no. If they had, the king would have been awakened and it would all be for naught. Gansey spent seven years searching for him.
